New Teacher Advocate – About

Subscribers: Members, nonmembers; both domestic and foreign. School districts receive special bulk rates to enhance their teacher support programs. Contact angela@kdp.org for more information.

LearnDescription: Continuously printed since 1993, the NTA is a 20-page, 4-color quarterly print and digital periodical. Our survey revealed that more than half of our readers want NTA in a digital format (either only or along with the print version).
Mission: New Teacher Advocate is a partner for success to beginning educators. Its stories, practice-oriented articles, resource connections, and expert advice from educators at all levels, inform, encourage, and inspire new teachers.

WriteContent: Write a one-page (500 words) or two-page article (700-850 words) on a topic of interest to new and student teachers such as teaching strategies, professionalism, getting a job, setting up a classroom, or working relationships to Michelle@kdp.org. Submitted articles are reviewed before publication.
Author Guidelines: Author Guidelines: Download the author guidelines. Be sure to read them carefully so you meet our strict word counts and try to think of ways to bullet or number your content. Remember, most NTA articles can be seen as a series of tips with every sentence or every two sentences becoming a stand-alone tip to implement. To see the rubric that will be used for evaluating your manuscript, go to the Write for NTA web page. Look at some past issues to see our style (you’ll find them listed in the Submission Process on the same page).
Deadlines: The New Teacher Advocate works on a rolling deadline, so feel free to submit any time! Because all articles are reviewed and most need revisions, we work about 12-16 months ahead of deadlines, so even when your article is accepted, it will not be published for 12-18 months.
